Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on November 12, 2013, the stockholders of the Company approved an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Charter”), which provides for the annual election of directors. The Amended and Restated Charter became effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 12, 2013.

Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Charter, commencing with the class of directors standing for election at the Annual Meeting, directors will stand for election for one-year terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The directors who were elected at the 2011 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, whose terms will expire in 2014, and the directors who were elected at the 2012 Annual Meeting, whose terms will expire in 2015, will hold office until the end of their terms. In all cases, each director will hold office until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. A detailed summary of the Amended and Restated Charter is set forth in the Proxy Statement under the caption “Proposal 1: Adoption and Approval of an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify our Board of Directors and Provide for the Annual Election of Directors,” which summary is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 11, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company to provide for the declassification of the Board of Directors. The Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective immediately following the stockholder’s approval of the Amended and Restated Charter on November 12, 2013.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended and Restated Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Amended and Restated Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.
